Unlocking phones has more to do with the phone’s manufacturer than the SoC it uses. Developing custom ROMs for MediaTek is more difficult. However, that doesn’t mean there aren’t devices with MediaTek SoCs that have custom ROMs.
Unlocking is possible outside of China https://github.com/melontini/bootloader-unlock-wall-of-shame/blob/main/brands/xiaomi/README.md
Adb command line interface is a major barrier for most users. Even with GUI tools built on top of ADB that still a barrier for many users.
I don’t have experience with linux os on phones. You should ask https://www.reddit.com/user/Mister_Magister/. He is community developer of sailfish os https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/1mzla4h/ive_been_daily_driving_and_developing_mobile/
Waydroid support MicroG
You can install app from Android Debug Bridge (adb). It will bypass all new restriction.

One UI 8 will block oem unlock and relock bootloader in all Samsung.

You can’t unlock samsung in canada/usa models. There are paid services but it isn’t worth it. Nobody makes custom roms for locked devices.
YouTube has been profitable since 2019
There are browser extensions that automatically switch from YouTube to an alternative platform if video is available on both.

It is difficult to switch to custom roms when manufacturers like Samsung block bootloader unlocking or like Xiaomi make the process hard.

You should buy SoC only made by TCMS. It even more important whether It is a Snapdragon or a MediaTek.
Right now, the most important specification is battery capacity. Some Smartphones are already available with batteries up to 7000 mAh.https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-poco-f7

It is bad. It looks like less powerful that 888+ :L It even made by Samsung… which means it uses a worse manufacturing process than TSMC
You can hide root and all other stuff. Only thing you can’t get long term is Google Device and Strong integrity.
